Iowa Senate OKs ethanol tax break for one year
The Iowa Senate approved extending the ethanol fuel tax break 46 to 0 sending the bill to Gov Branstad. The 19 cent per gallon ethanol tax and 21 cent regular gas tax create a 2 cent differential as ethanol share nears 75 percent. If signed the measure could save Iowans about 8 million next fiscal year. The tax break expires June 30 without Branstad's signature.
